EQT’s stock climbed approximately 10.5% over the week as natural gas futures surged by 60%, the largest weekly increase since trading began in 1990. The extreme cold front, forecast to cover 40 states, drove heating demand up by an estimated 16 Bcf/d on the coldest day, while freeze-offs threatened production outages of up to 15 Bcf/d. Investors piled into integrated gas producers, with EQT’s vertically integrated model viewed as a hedge against deliverability risks and cash-flow pressures in a volatile market.

EQT has generated $2.3 billion in free cash flow over the last 12 months and maintains a dividend yield of 1.25%. As the only large-scale vertically integrated U.S. gas producer, it controls over 1 million undeveloped core net acres in the Appalachian Basin—enough to sustain production for 30 years at a delivery cost of $2 per MMBtu. With forecast U.S. gas demand set to rise by 22 Bcf/d by 2030, driven by data-center load and power generation, EQT’s planned pipeline expansions (MVP Southgate and MVP Boost, online in 2028 and 2029) and LNG export agreements underpin consensus price targets near $76 per share.

EQT will report fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results on February 17, 2026, after market close, with a conference call at 10:00 a.m. ET on February 18. The company’s investor relations team, led by Managing Director Cameron Horwitz, expects to discuss debt reduction, share repurchases and dividend growth. Additionally, EQT announced its intent to acquire private equity firm Coller Capital for up to $3.7 billion, a move projected to double Coller’s business within four years and further diversify EQT’s asset base.
